BF1 missing from EA app

Hi all,

I recently had nostalgia and wanted to play BF1 which I haven't launched for a while.

Since last time, the launch system changed from Origin to EA app.

I had no problems with other games (BF3, BF Bad Company, BF5) but BF1 is missing from my library.

I have tried absolutely everything documented on EA website and nothing works.

I originaly bought the game key on another site and when I tried to redeem it says it's logicaly says it's already redeemed.

It's not about the 3€ asked for the game today but more about principles... I bought something I can no longer use!

Any help would be appreciated

    Hey @WhabbiT666,

    It's strange that you're missing exactly one game. When you say that you've already tried everything, could you give me a quick rundown? Just so I don't start recommending things you've already tried.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your answer.

    So, I've been playing battefield games since the first one and as I can remember I only had bf3, bad company 2 and bf1 on the origin app (no other game franchise).

    I can't remember if bf5 was on origin or EA app but once on EA app I just played bf5 when launched and keep playing bf3 once in a while for a few years now.

    With a friend we decided to go back a bit to bf1 but there began the troubles.

    So far:

    - I found my activation key (bought on another site) but obviously it is already redeemed and does not help me much

    - I cleared the cache (app recovery)

    - I re-installed EA app and disconnected/reconnected to my account

    - I went through every option in EA app and searched every option linked to bf1 in the store (and my only option is to buy it)

    - I sweared at EA quite alot

    Nothing worked...

    What worries me the most is that if I even can launch the game again I might start from scratch since EA thinks I never bought it (and therefore never played it).

    Cheers

    Hi @WhabbiT666 What was the site you bought it on originally, and have you spoken with EA Help yet?
  • Hi,

    Bought it from cdkeys.com. Worked fine at the time, played alors.

    Yes, tried EA Help without any success.
